Bilberries are rich in antioxidants, compounds that help balance free radicals and reduce inflammation in your organs and muscles. They are also thought to curb inflammation and protect against diseases associated with oxidative stress, including inflammatory bowel disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, gingivitis, and age-related cognitive decline. The anthocyanins in bilberries reduce inflammation and stabilize the cartilage, tendons, and ligaments that contain collagen.
